The distribution of fatty acids was determined by gas-liquid chromatography in total lipid and
triglyceride fraction of extracts of several tissues of streptozotocin-diabetic rats and their …

High levels of triglycerides (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA) in maternal plasma, in diabetes,
promote fat passage to the fetus. In the streptozotocin-diabetic rat a significant correlation …

Rats were made diabetic by the injection of streptozotocin on day 12 of pregnancy and were
investigated on days 17 and 20 of pregnancy. A significant correlation between both …

The placental transfer of non-esterified fatty acids, predominantly in the direction of mother to
fetus, is regulated on a gross scale by the transplacental non-esterified fatty acid gradient …

During late gestation, although maternal adipose tissue lipolytic activity becomes enhanced,
lipolytic products cross the placenta with difficulty. Under fasting conditions, free fatty acids …

Diabet. Med. 28, 1053–1059 (2011) Abstract Aims To evaluate the potential contribution of
maternal glucose and lipids to fetal metabolic variables and growth in pregnancies with …

Maternal lipids are strong determinants of fetal fat mass. Here we review the overall lipid
metabolism in normal and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies. During early …

The prevalence of adult and childhood obesity are increasing. Most of the human newborn's
body fat accumulates in the last half of intrauterine life. Fat in the fetus was thought to be …

The functionality of the placenta may affect neonatal adiposity and fetal levels of key
nutrients such as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fetal macrosomia and its …

Abstract Purpose of Review Maternal lipid metabolism greatly changes during pregnancy
and we review in this article how they influence fetal adiposity and growth under non …
